Eliza

Ulrich WoelkEliza"Eliza is certainly the mother of all chatbots. The German-American computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum - a pioneer in the field of research on artificial intelligence - was born 50 years ago. With Eliza, Weizenbaum wanted to show how human language can be formalized and processed digitally, but the effect of his own creation was suspicious. Not a few unsuspecting test persons were convinced at the end of their "therapist talks" that they had actually interacted with a sensitive and understanding doctor by keyboard: they felt understood and revealed to the alleged physician the most intimate details of their soul life. "(Ulrich Woelk).First published text by Woelk about language assistants and speech robots with drawings and manuscripts by Hartmut Andryczuk. Text-Edition of Woelk separately.Leporello on both sides with cover lettering. Book in the slipcase.
